This 12-night Azamara cruise to South Africa has it all: vibrant ports, exotic safaris, golden beaches, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Departing from Cape Town, we begin with a day at sea before arriving in Port Elizabeth for a late stay to discover the animal sanctuary of Addo Elephant National Park. Next, arrive in the town of East London and wander the white-sand beaches of the Sunshine and Wild Coasts. After a luxurious day at sea spent unwinding at the spa and taking in a show, it’s off to Maputo, Mozambique where colonial architecture and bustling markets await.
Enjoy a late-night stay in Richards Bay with an authentic safari adventure at Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, home to Africa’s “big five”, then explore bustling markets on another late stay in the beachfront city of Durban.
Take two days at sea to explore immersive onboard programming and delicious specialty dining,  then call on a town that sees around 320 sunny days a year—Mossel Bay. Take a guided cave tour at Point of Human Origins, a world renowned archaeological site where first evidence of modern human behavior was discovered, dating back 162,000 years, wander beautiful beaches, or visit Botlierskop Private Game Reserve.
Your journey ends with an overnight stay in Cape Town, where you can circle back to check off the attractions you missed the first time around. Sip your way around the Cape Winelands, the country’s largest wine region with six distinct wine routes to explore. Dip your toes in both the Atlantic and Indian Oceans on one of the area’s many beaches, visit the colony of African penguins at Boulders Beach, or peruse the shops and restaurants at the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront. This multicultural metropolis is a city unlike any other.

January 15 – 27, 2024

JANUARY 15, MONDAY: CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA (EMBARK BY 4:30PM / SAIL 6:00PM)
Embark Azamara Pursuit beginning at 1:00PM. All aboard by 4:30PM.
Welcome Cocktails & Briefing this evening. Meet your fellow participants & PerryGolf staff.

JANUARY 16, TUESDAY: AT SEA
Today it’s time to relax and reset.

JANUARY 17, WEDNESDAY: PORT ELIZABETH, SOUTH AFRICA (7:00AM / 8:00PM)
Humewood Golf Club
 was considered the top course in South Africa by the legendary countryman, professional Bobby Locke during his prime in the 1930s and 40s. A genuine seaside links, Humewood has played host to the South African Open and South African Amateur on many occasions and Ernie Els is a past champion of the Goodyear Classic, held at the course from 1984-1992. The greens were converted to bent grass in 2009 and the result was consistently magnificent putting surfaces.

JANUARY 18, THURSDAY: EAST LONDON, SOUTH AFRICA (7:30AM / 5:00PM)
East London Golf Club has been one of South Africa’s favorite championship venues for decades. It has hosted six National Opens, the European Tour and the National Amateur counting the likes of Els, Schwartzel and Oosthuizen among the winners here. The club was originally founded in 1893. Today it is a coastal gem, opened in 1923, with a wonderful mix of parkland and links holes typically played to elevated greens. No. 9, The Glades, is particularly memorable. After a 50 yard walk through a tunnel of bush, you reach an elevated tee that begs for a bomb. Catching the slope makes all the difference for your approach with a middle iron played slightly uphill to a green protected by thick brush on all sides.

JANUARY 19, FRIDAY: AT SEA
Enjoy another relaxing day at sea onboard Azamara Pursuit.

 

JANUARY 21, SUNDAY: RICHARDS BAY, SOUTH AFRICA (7:00AM / 9:00PM)
Richards Bay, named for the British Naval Commander who landed troops on the Zululand coast in 1879, is one of South Africa’s largest harbors and home to the world’s largest export coal terminal. The multitude of specialized ships that dock and depart here are a certain point of interest for any maritime enthusiasts. The sandy shores of Alkanstrand Beach provide a lovely, relaxing place to spend a morning or afternoon. Hippos, crocodiles and more than 300 species of native birds can be observed at the Tuzigazi Waterfront, an idyllic nature conservation area located at the confluence of the Mzingazi River and Lake Mzingazi.

Golfers disembark in Richards Bay (along with any accompanying PerryGolf non-golfing guests who wish to participate – reduced rate charge applies) for an easy two round, one night off ship excursion including dinner and drinks plus overnight stay with breakfast at the beautiful Fairmont Zimbali Resort. The group will rejoin Azamara Pursuit in the late afternoon in Durban on the second day. Light lunches are also included along with normal golf program amenities.

We make a scenic 90 minute morning drive south to Fairmont Zimbali. Light lunch on arrival. Afternoon golf at Zimbali Country Club.

Zimbali Country Club offers irresistible ocean and forest views, exceptional water and wetland features within an inspiring natural setting, and has developed the reputation of a memorable course with charisma and challenge. With the agenda of “conservation takes precedence,” international golf course designer and former British and South African PGA champion, Tom Weiskopf crafted a course with dramatic elevation changes, varying eco-systems, which is ecologically sound while maximizing the natural landscape.

JANUARY 22, MONDAY: DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA (7:30AM / 8:00PM)
Durban Country Club combines lush vegetation, sand dunes and gorgeous views of the Indian Ocean and is a typical links layout with wide, undulating fairways. As a regular host for the South African Open as well as the Volvo Open in 2013 and 2014, the course measures 6,400 yards and plays to a par 70 from the club tees. The par-5 5th will seize your attention due to the elevated tee, gusting wind and ocean view.

Non-Golfing guests who participate on our overland program may visit Durban Country Club with the golfers in the morning, and then return to Azamara Pursuit for lunchtime, to then enjoy any of the Azamara Shore Excursions® on offer in Durban in the afternoon.

JANUARY 23, TUESDAY: AT SEA
Enjoy another relaxing day at sea onboard Azamara Pursuit.

JANUARY 24, WEDNESDAY: AT SEA

JANUARY 26, FRIDAY: CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA (9:30AM / IN PORT)
Pearl Valley, set in the famous Franschhoek Wine region, is a Jack Nicklaus Signature Course and a treat to play. Pearl Valley is considered one of the top conditioned courses. As with many Nicklaus courses, water on the right with plenty of sand, will keep the golfers minds off the wide landing areas provided. The course and its geographical location allow for guests to enjoy a day outing in the Winelands with high quality golf to compliment the food and wine.

JANUARY 27, SATURDAY: CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA (IN PORT / DISEMBARK AT 9:00AM)
Disembark Azamara Pursuit at 9:00AM.
